Answer 1

This problem can be be only solved by flash fallback for Firefox browsers. You can find following line in JS code

t.supportsMediaTag = (typeof v.canPlayType !== 'undefined' || t.isBustedAndroid ) ;

change to

t.supportsMediaTag = (typeof v.canPlayType !== 'undefined' || t.isBustedAndroid )&& ( !t.isFirefox) ;

Please let me know if you find a solution to this issue. I'm encountering the exact same problem.

[edit] I found a solution. Add the parameter "mode: 'shim'" to where you setup your Mediaelement.js media player to force a fallback to flash/silverlight for the component.

For more detail, read the first comment here : what is mode:shim actually doing?

I'm working on a way to make it only do this for firefox, but forcing this fallback for all browsers won't break anything, so it's a good solution in the short term.
